T. Raymond Cobb, pilot of the Jungaleers, evidently is working on the theory that Harris and his hench- men are at a disadvantage against lefthanders. This notion is not so pre- valent as it used to be. and the Bucks helped to further dissipate it by the punishment they inflicted on Hu Leonard when the big forkhander was bombed off the hill in the fifth inning. having 11 bingles and 7 runs charged against him Stan Coveleskie started against Leonard and hurled creditably until Wingo and Cobb reached him for cir- cuit_clouts that produced four runs in the sixth inning. Then the Pole was withdrawn for a pinch hitter and Marberry finished out the string, vielding but a single safety in the last three frames. McNally Aids the Enemy. McNally, subbing at short for the afling Peck, got the Griffmen off on the wrong foot by heaving yards wide to Judge after grabbing Haney's slow roller at the outset of the battle, and before the side was retired two runs were chalked up by the Bengals. O'Rourke slashed a double down the left-field line, sending Haney to third, and the latter tallied on Wingo's sin- gle to center. Cobb was nipped on the arm by a pitched ball, filling the bases, and after Coveleskie had vic- timized Heilmann on strikes, Blue scored O'Rourke with a long fly to Goslin. Tavener left two Tvgers on when he rolled to Harris. A counter offensive launched against Leonard enabled the Griffs to tie it up in their_ half. lined a single over Tavener 4 raced to third on Harris' shot to left and scored when Rice bounded a safety off Blue's glove. Goslin's death advanced Harris and Rice, and after a pass to Judge had filled the bas Bucky tallied on Bluege's loft to Heil- mann. A bingle from Ruel at this juncture would have netted two more markers, but Muddy's best was a fly to Cobb. Champions Get the Breaks. The Champs got some of the well known breaks when they scored twice in the third to take the lead. Harris scratched a hit at the outset with a bad-bounding biff to Han and sprinted to third when Ri(e chopped a safety over the mid just out of O'Rourk reach. oslin then caromed a whack off Leonard's glove for one base, scoring Harris. Judge's suicide advanced his mates, and Bluege's fly to Cobb cashed Rice. Ruel then walked and was left with Goslin when McNally lofted. Neither Heilmann nor Blue could get a ball out of the infield after Wingo doubled and Cobb walked in the third, but the Bengals got to Covey in the fifth for a tally. O'Rourke opened with a safety to right that netted two bases. He was run down when Wingo tapped to the box, but the latter reached second scored when Cobb lined a double ainst the right field fence. Heil- mann then walked, but both Blue and Tavener lofted. Leonard Is Chased Away. The fag end of round 5 saw the downfall of Leonard, a whole hand- ful of runs accruing before Hollow: his successor, could end the assault. Goslin's double, Judge's safe bunt and Bluege's single to center netted one run and sent Leonard to the show- TOPPLING THE TYGERS WASHING SoosmostmEuaR coussoonsssusk cosssms@s000 sessuonuemuuuf Marberry, Totals .

HEYDLER, N.L. HEAD, SEES NATS RAISE WORLD FLAG It’s easy to be a good winner, but the best sportsman is the good los- er. John A. Heydler, president of the National League, whose Giants were victims of the Washington club in the biz base ball classic last October, was among those present at Clark Griflith Stadium this aft- ernoon when the als formally celebrated their triumph over the 1924 leader of the senior circuit by lofting the flag significant of the world championship. And Heydler was glad to be there, too. Among those missing was B. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, who did not even see his circuit’'s representative earn the laurels last Fall . ‘With Heydler at the flag-raising was Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lan- dis, commissioner of base ball. This morning these diamond game dig- nitaries visited Chevy Chase Club for a battle over the links. What happened there has not been di- ers. Holloway walked both Ruel and Ruether, batting for McNally, Judge being forced in with a tally. Bluege then scored on Covey's death, and after McNeely retirement Harris looped safety to center that cashed Ruel and Adams, who ran for Rue- ther. Successive home runs by Wingo and Cobb netted the Tygers four runs in the sixth. Wingo wallop, which cleared the right field fence, came after Rigney, who batted for Haney, had walked and O'Rourke had'singled. Cobb then duplicated Wingo's feat on the first ball pitched by Covey. Intield bingles by Goslin and Bluege and Adams’ double netted the Griffs a marker in a hectic rear end to this sessfon, and still another was chalked up in the eighth, when Bluege doubled to left center and completed the cir- cuit on,Cobb’s fumble of the rolling ball. NINTH IN ROW TAKEN BY-THE G. P. 0. TEAM Printing_Office tossers of the Gov- ernment Base Ball League turned in their ninth straight victory yvesterday when they handed a 10-to-6 setback to the forces of the District Building. The triumph gives the Printers a sub- stantial lead over the other teams of the circuit and increases materially their chances to cop the pennant. The tail-end Treasurers’ nine of the Treasury circuit scored its first win of the series by trouncing Annex No. 2, 11 to 6. Potomac Park upset the dope in the Departmental loop by taking a game from Treasury by a 10-to-6 count. Chestnut Farms moved out in front in the Commercial League when the C. & P. Telephone Co. team was shut out, 16 to 0, in an elght-inning fray. Frank Hudson hurled for the winners. W. B. Moses continued in third place by defeating Thompson's Dairy, 12 to 3.

Stationed at third base starting with round 6 after Bluege shifted over to short in place of McNally, subbing for Peckinpaugh, who had given away to a pinch hitter, Adams displayed the speed of a deer and the skill of a mas. ter in racing deep into foul territory to snare Cole’s fly over his shoulders, while his two-base blow to right cen- ter his first time up and the stinging liner he sent to Rigney on his next ap- pearance belied his reputation of be- ing a weak hitter. Both cracks were made off the left-handed Cole. McNeely Has Banner Day. As for McNeely, he enjoyed a ban- ner day of it. Not only did he con- nect for three singles and a double, but made a couple of plays that hardly could be betterred for spectacular qualities. The first of these developed in the sixth, when Burke, a pinch hit- ter, raised a little fly in short center that neither Harris nor Bluege could get under. Mac sprinted in with the speed of an express train and dived headlong to spear the pellet. After turning a couple of somersaults with the ball still in his grasp, Earl drop- ped it, but the arbiters rightfully ruled he had clung to the pill long enough to complete a legal catch. McNeely's other feat was pulled at the expense of Rigney in the eighth, when he raced back close to the lim- its in center and leaped to make a one-hand grab of Emory’s drive. Earl lost his balance and fell with a thud, but kept a tight clutch on the ball. It is no novelty for McNeely to get his share of hits. It will be recalled that he compiled an average of .330 with the Griffmen in the fag end of last season. It was the caliber of his blows yesterday that were signifi- cant. All were well met, sound drives characteristic of a real hitter rather than a lucky one. It may be that Earl has reached the point where he is just finding himself. An Oddity in Base Running. The spectacle of a bona-fide double with the bases loaded producing but one run was offered when Adams pro- duced his two-bagger in the sixth inning yesterday. Judge, on third base, easily scored, of course. It ap- peared that Wingo might catch the drive and Bluege stayed close to sec- ond, while Ruel advanced from first almost to the midway. When the ball landed sifely Bluege headed for third with Ruel right on his heels. Fast relaying b Tygers induced ’ Grip The New Dayton RAc- QUET! Swing it! erfect in balance, isn’t it?
